B. With immigration comes population increases, and when you dont have enough places for people to live they cramp in one small place and when there are a bunch of people in a small place, it gets dirty and not good for living conditions.
C. It was a difficult life for immigrants because of the Great Depression and jobs were hard to come by, especially for an immigrant.

Down at the southern boarder many mexicans are crossing the boarder illeagally and as our american law enforcers are trying to stop them, they get arrested and jail time for defending our boarders. They're supposed to keep illeagal immigrants out of our country and so they do what the have to do. In other countries if somebody illeagal crosses the boarder they are usually shot dead on the spot or held in the countrys jail for as long as they please. If immigrants want to live in America they need to work at it. America is a land full of workers and achieving people. The struggle of becoming leagal just shows you have the potential to be a hard worker just like all other American should be. Leagal immigrants should not be frowned apon because they are from someplace else but encouraged because they conquered the task of becoming an American. All Americans should have the respect they deserve. Illeagal immigrants arnt good for our country. Illeagal iimmigrants kill more than 10000 Americans every year. That means illeagal immigrants are a danger to Americans and that means our law enforcers and supposed to keep them out and us safe.
